PYRAMID OF BARRELS.

pyramids OF barrels are passed, q sooty re-
finery or two reeking with the odorous pro-
duct, some rambling wooden buildings, and
the passenger alights on the platform Of the
Grand Trunk railroad depot at Petrolea, one
Of the central points in the oil field Of On
tario.
The visitor who Is familiar with other pc
troleum regions will find the sams cheaply
constructed buildings here, the same muddy,
irregular, but busy, streets, and many other
points Of resemblance, yet Petrolea has sub
stantial, handsome public buildings and bust
ness blocks, and, although built in all the
hustle of excitement incident to such develop
ments, compares favorably with places of its
class wherever found The open handed,
generous characteristics of their Pennsyl-
vania cousins is there, too; the same vim,
fever for speculation and utter indifference
to defeat, and what is lacking in ceremony is
made up in heartiness. Some OF the most
prominent operators of the section are from
the States, it may be added; and during the
first developments in the Canadian field, at
Oil City, Ont, in 1850, shortly after the
Venango excitement, the Ontario field was
operated almost entirely by Pennsylvanians.
The first wells were heavy producers. Now
many of them are utterly abandoned, though
about 5000 are pumped near Petrolea and in
the northwest district, and about 500 at Oil
Springs, with a total monthly production Of
about as, 900 barrels. Many wells are worked
on one pumping rig. At this place one pro-
ducer has ninety-six wells so connected.
The Canadian oil field has an area reaching
from about seventeen miles from Sarnia, the
northwest territory, to Oil Springs on the
southeast, when there is break in the belt.
The Euphemia section then comes inswhich has
seven or eight wells, only three of which are
now producing The specific gravity of the
product is about thirty in the northwest ter

earning more than the interest on its bond
ed debt and when completed we see no
reason why it should not pay handsome
dividends on its stock, as it is bonded for
the small amount of S. 600 per mile.
These bonds are first and only lien on
the road and equipment, and in addition
are guaranteed, principal and interest, by
the Orange Belt Investment Co, which
owns large Mills at Longwood that are
earning over $4,000 year net; besides
which the company have valuable real
estate and other property, e,ti
mated in all, with the mills, to be
worth $500 900. and when the road is

that the investment coRpany's property
will be worth at least 81 900 900. not in
cluding the railroad and its franchises.
The company reserves the right To re-
deem these bonds at any time after FIVE
years, and it is believed that they will be
able to retire them all in five years, as it Is
for the interest of the guarantors to do
so, they being the owners of - per cent.
of the stock, which, with the % per cent.
